MarvellousDazza Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not sure how many people are aware but Windows have stopped supporting SafeDisc and some versions of SecuROM (DRM) which means you can no longer play older versions of Football Manager anymore. Is there any chance the older Football Manager's (2005, 2006, 2007) can be released on Steam so we can still play them? I for one am not interested in the modern Football Manager's they take a ridiculous amount of time to play through, too many features and it runs far too slow for my liking, I prefer the older games which have a far more simplistic look and feel about the games, plus you can get through seasons a lot quicker. Will SI ever release their full catalogue of FM's on Steam? Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_al Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I doub it as there won't be huge demand. As that's what "football manager touch" is aimed directly at trying to target people like yourself who want a lite version of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvellousDazza Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 But the touch version is nothing like a lite version of the game whatsoever. It's not what I want and it still doesn't speed through games, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 They can't sell last year's version on Steam due to licenses, so can't see them going even further back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted December 20, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2018 With some of the older ones the last patch we released in some instances removed the need for DRM, so may be worth trying them making sure you have the final released patch. Some (but not all) of these can be found by the relevant title on the SIGames website such as for FM07 - http://www.sigames.com/games/football-manager-2007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d d Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can you download the game or only the patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted December 20, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just now, d d said: Can you download the game or only the patch? Just the patch. We can no longer sell that game (or any game prior to FM18) due to licencing reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 As was said in the opening post in this thread, W10 changed the way that the operating system dealt with DRM and many users have reported that they couldn't get older games to work. Others a have managed it but there is no magic formula and it appears to be trial and error. There is no guarantee that the game will run, I'm afraid.
